== EPOV editorial board ==
In [[#Anonymous editors and EPOV]], I referred to edits made by pseudonymous editors as equivalent to anonymous editors. Psephomancy pointed out that they weren't the same, and questioned my inherent skepticism. I won't get into that yet, but remind me to further articulate my position in a future response.
[[User:Psephomancy]], you said you're also having a tough time keeping up with [[User:BetterVotingAdvocacy]]'s enthusiasm. Question: what are you doing about it? You claim "''You know my real name''". Do I? Really? I'm being burdened with keeping track of several pseudonyms, along with many pseudonyms of [[Miraheze]] staff and board members as part of my board responsibilites, along with a vaguely plausible description of who you are in a brief email exchange. That's probably good enough for an online discussion, but setting legal and behavior standards for an online, global publishing platform requires a little more trust than is possible to achieve in a short email exchange.
I think the [[Electowiki:EPOV]] editorial board is going to have to get to know each other ''a little'' better so that we can establish a more trusting relationship as we work together. We probably need to schedule a periodic phone call during the COVID-19 lockdown (or ''at least'' a periodic Discord meeting). We probably need a third EPOV editorial board member. I would like to recruit that person from [[EM list]] (and I'm pleased that several of the regulars from that list have accounts here). I'd also be delighted to recruit that person from our editor community (e.g. I see several names I know and trust in [https://electowiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&offset=&limit=500 the Electowiki user list]), and I'm pretty sure at least one of them made a generous donation in fundraising drive by the [[Miraheze]] SRE team: https://www.gofundme.com/f/7uj22x-help-miraheze-stay-online . And I'm sure it wasn't just [[User:Southparkfan]]. :-D For the record, I also donated to [[Miraheze]] at least a couple times in the past year (and at least once in the Gofundme drive, IIRC). '''Everybody who cares about this conversation should donate a little bit too'''. You don't have to tell me how much you donated, but the more you donate and can point to proof, the more I'll trust you.
Funding shouldn't matter to editorial content and as once was said "[[wikipedia:Freedom of the press#Relationship to self-publishing|Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one"]]. It's cheaper than ever to host a domain, and starting a new [[Miraheze]]-based wiki is free. But, [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]], ''you specifically'' pestered me to put [[wikipedia:HTTP 301|HTTP 301 redirects]] in place to make sure that electowiki.org showed up higher in the search results than wiki.electorama.com. Did I make the right decision? I'm truly not sure that I did. I think [[Miraheze]] is an awesome [[MediaWiki]] host, and I think Electowiki has a lot of promise here. But I don't want Electowiki to become a haven for [[wikipedia:Template:Voting_systems|electoral systems]] editors that get themselves banned from [[Wikipedia]]. And I'm tired of seeing things posted on Electowiki that would pass muster on the [[EM list]]. But I suppose I should start a different topic about that.
In the meantime, how do we form a proper editorial board? How often should we meet? What is going to be our official communication tool for private communication between EPOV editorial board members? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 04:26, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
